Andorre

Declaration contained in a letter from the Minister for External Relations of Andorra, dated 2 November 2000, handed to the Secretary General at the time of signature of the instrument on 4 November 2000 - Or. Fr.

The Government of the Principality of Andorra wishes this act of signature to be interpreted as a sign in favour of European solidarity. With the signature of the European Social Charter (revised), the Principality of Andorra joins the majority of member States of the Council of Europe which have recognised the Charter's principles. Nevertheless, the particular structure of the Andorran society and economy commit the Principality of Andorra to protect the essential elements of its specificity, and in this view, some articles of the European Social Charter (revised) seem to present difficulties for an immediate ratification.
